1st Blog

Well, I have decided to attempt this blogging thing. I enjoy reading others, so want to give it a try. I know that the hard part will be keeping up with it.

I will introduce ourselves; my name is Jody, I'm the mom, Russ is my husband of 9 years, and we have three beautiful children; Jakob - 7, Joshua - 4 brought home from Guatemala, July 25th, 2005. and Julia - 2 adopted through the foster care system. I am a full time stay at home mom and foster mom. We take in mostly newborns and occasionally an older toddler. Right now we have a 3 month old baby girl that we brought home from the hospital. She is doing wonderfully and we are hoping to make her a permanent addition to our family. I will keep you posted on that.

Well,today it is a very snowy day,we are expecting 4-10 inches before it is all said and done. A good day to curl up with the kids and enjoy some Holiday movies. But our 2 year old daughter, Julia, has a dance recital this evening. I am secretly hoping that it will be postponed. Hubby picked up a snow blower today, so I know that he is itching to go outside and play.

I am looking forward to meeting new people and hearing from you. I will be attaching some pictures later so you can see who I am talking about.
